Wrestling with Love

Chapter Twelve-Fixing things.

~Talia's Point of view~

It's been two weeks since we found out we were pregnant. Casey and Steve have been great about not telling anyone about their pregnancy. I've just gotten home from work. I told Henry today that next week would be my last. He understood why. Having one baby is enough two is overwhelming. I also plan on telling Jax and Cage tonight. I've made my peace with it. I just needed time to absorb everything.

I've made Jax sleep in his room. I know it's childish, but I needed the time. I haven't been totally ignoring Jax. I've only said what needed to be said and moved on. I've not spoken a word to Cage, but I feel his eyes on me whenever we're in the same room.

Garrett has the boys. It's winter break. Ben called me told me Farrah was having a baby. He finally told them. He will cheat on her just like he did me. Christmas in this house was a madhouse. This house looked like a freaking toy store was built in here. New Year's was boring. No one wanted to do anything, and every female in the house is pregnant except Mama. Joe and Gabby found out they were pregnant right after Casey and me.

Cora was right.

I kick my shoes off at the door and head to the living room. Every single person that lives in the house was in there.

Talia: "Hey Case, Steve, can we talk?"

Casey: "Yeah..."

Talia: "Kitchen? "

Casey: "Coming."

I walk to the kitchen. Casey is now eight weeks pregnant, and I'm eleven. Gabby was right at seven weeks.

Steve: "Everything ok, Pipsqueak?

Casey: "What's up?"

Talia: "I'm telling the guys tonight. You can tell the family."

Steve: "We won't tell them about you or how Y'all found out. We will just tell them. We're pregnant, and it's confirmed."

Talia: "I'll tell Jax and Cage after you tell them."

Casey: "Ok. Steve, can you give us a minute?"

Steve: "Sure, Babe.

He goes back to the living room.

Casey: "So, we decided after this baby that Steve would be the one to wear condoms and Chris would be the one going without."

Talia: "So, you'd have children by both?"

Casey: "That's what we hope."

Talia: "That's freaking awesome. I'm so glad I brought you home for dinner."

Jaxon: "That sounds kinda kinky."

Talia: "Shut up, Jax."

He goes to the fridge and grabs a bottle of water.

Jaxon: "What are you two up to?"

Casey: "Nothing, Jax. Let's all go back to the living room."

We make our way back in the only spot left, as always is between Jax and Cage. I grab a chair from the kitchen.

Casey: "So, we have something we need to tell everyone."
